But this is clearly a blow to your world.

Hey, I ain't the one spending my morning looking up etymology in the OED to prove that the right word and the wrong word were the same word in the 14th Century.

Sorry I exposed your ignorance of etymology (or even how to use a dictionary).

Please continue to be outraged over a typo. It seems to suit you.

"OED to prove that the right word and the wrong word were the same word in the 14th Century."

Again, since this seems to be unclear to you, the OED says that feint is an acceptable form of faint in the sense of timid.

But perhaps you know better than the OED. You are the spelling police. LOL
